Seattle huh?

• Hey, yes you sure have scared me! lol do you have an email address or other form of contact? I'd like to ask a few questions if you don't mind, and I'll answer all yours about Seattle as well. my email is [email removed] so shoot me an email.
  Contrary to your explanation of Germany, I'm going to get you EXCITED about Seattle, hehe. Theres no way not to, Seattle is hands down the best place I've ever been, and I've traveled quite a bit. Let me take that back, prerequisite: you love the outdoors, Seattle is hands-down THE BEST. You have all your metropolitan bustling city you want in Seattle, but drive LESS than an hour out of the city and you'll find yourself up high in the mountains with no one around for miles. The Olympics to the east and Cascades to the west are breathtaking to wake up to, and need i say anything about MT RAINIER! She towers over anything and everything, she creates her own weather pattern this is true. I climbed Rainier this summer, if you ever get the chance, please try it, you'll never forget it. As for the weather, be quiet about this, but NO! It doesnt suck, its our best kept secret. I've never experienced a better summer, I lived in Florida and California for a couple summers, and Seattle wins easily. If 3 summers here is enough to be able to give advice, I'd say it rains a total of 2 or 3 days each summer? With the other days being sun and no clouds, light breeze off the Puget Sound...NO humidity! Im from NY and i hate humidity, one of the reasons I could never go back, but out here theres a 20 degree difference between being in the sun, and stepping under a tree into the shade, its great. As for the people-very laid back, easy going, and very very courteous/professional. Being the most literate city in the US, colleges are big here, and the graduation rate even bigger. If your older/which I assume you are/ Seattle's nightlife will be just what your looking for. It has its hotspots clubs, and hundreds of very unique bars and pubs its really one of a kind. But in general, Seattle goes to bed early! Everyone wants to wake up and climb a mountain or something exciting so nightlife isn't a priority to many of us. Compared to other cities, ask a Seattlite what their plans for the weekend are, and majority will have some type of adventure in store. And thats because everything is here! You have world class snowboarding/skiing in the mountains with great resorts btw, and Whistler BC is only a few hours away (Site of the 2010 Olympics) you have every water sport possible, the U.S.'s largest Salmon run right through Seattle, literally you can go to the locks and see hundreds of thousands of 4 foot salmon jumping over one another in hte fish ladders. Theres mtn biking, backpacking and hiking for years and years you'll never run out of things to do. The more I talk about Seattle the less I want to move, hehe, this move is something i HAVE to do, not WANT to do. But I'm trying to get excited about it, so help me out!
  
  Take care.
